1 month to SITM!!! Mark your calendars!
 

Noticed the dates for this year's SITM are up. Mark your calendars for the best 928 party. Last year's new venue was a HUGE success. I know I had WAY too much fun. Looking forward to another one.

BTW, anyone posting images of my likeness on my car or hotel window will be banned! :grr:

You can look up the details on 928 Specialists website, but for the lazy, I have included it below.

I guess that means I should start putting my car back together? :p

I really doesn't matter... it won't be ready either way.

That's funny, ran just fine on the dyno a few weeks ago :D

That reminds me, I need to go back tot he dyno soon. Got me some new "go faster" parts. :evilgrin:

I need to see if I can find the pics of AO in the window.
Got my room booked, will be there.

You guys going to Alcoa again this year?

You betcha'! :thumbup:

I have a room as well. Best 928 GTG there is.

OH and I'm glad I posted on page 1 of this thread because....BANG

Is this another Private function or are all 928 Owners invited as with all other 928 functions?
The only publicly posted "Private 928 Function" on the 928 Calendar.

Let me know when you decide where you guys are going to stay, I have to admit that 30 minutes I spent just trying to keep you idiots in sight last year was about the most thrilling thing I did all year.

I plan to leave Alcoa for SITM a hour early this year, so after about 20 minutes I can hear you guys when you blast past me. :roflmao:

When the one guy spun out trying to keep up I said, :icon107: you guys go ahead. :surr:

AO and crew are fast and fearless, the Georgia hill billy, not so much.
That would be a good title for a movie, "The Fast and Fearless and the Hillbilly" :roflmao:

Dang man, I just started taking mine apart! ;)

Uh yea, I motion for ALL 928 owners be welcome.
Can I get a second?

I'll second that!

The way I read the promo I take it that this is a closed customer and friends only event. I take it that means that 928 owners who are not customers are not encouraged to attend? I'm struggling to work out the intent of all the verbage of an 'open' invitation. Can someone clarify.

I'm contemplating a trip to the US .. but I'm not a current customer.

Well, from all years past, everyone was welcome. Anyone who owns a shark are potential customers. I will check with them tomorrow, need to call them anyway. And, yes, I intend to be there. If the s4 is not ready, I will drive the OB. There is no way in hell it will keep up with AO and the gang so I will enjoy the drive at my pace.

See you all there,
